I have had neck pain for 1 week / up in morniings hurtin/ really bad this morning- have taken 800mg ibuprofen rx from tooth extractions ... but pain is back and stiff hurts to tilt and turn head... gotta work 12 hours tomorrow on cleaning department?

No quick fix for this condition (torticollis or neck-shoulder syndrome) If you still have Ibuprofen, just take it every 6-8 hours with full stomach for 2-3 days. You can apply Salonpas (sold OTC) + local heat which may help a little more. A doctor can give you a muscle relaxant but it can make you sleepy or drowsy. You should exercise your neck daily and consider changing your pillow afterward.

The differential here is either a pinched nerve from an arthritic spur or bulging intervertebral disc or an irritated/inflamed muscle. If the pain is worse when you turn your neck toward the neck it's more likely a punched nerve. Turning away,means muscle. Wear a soft neck collar,take ibuprofen or naproxen. For muscle pain,I prefer warm applications. See MD or neurologist as needed.
